• TKDA ENGINEERS • ARCHITECTS • PLANNERS MEMORANDUM To: James Studenski, City Engineer . Reference: Speiser Acres 1500 Piper Jaffray Plaza 444 Cedar Street Saint Paul, MN 55101 -2140 (651) 292-4400 (651) 292 -0083 Fax www.tkda.com Copies To: City of Lino Lakes, Minnesota From: Scott A. Brink, P.E. Date: September 3, 2004 Comm. No. 12976 -002 Routing: A review of this proposed plat was previously provided in a Memorandum dated August 27, 2004. Since that date, an updated copy of the Preliminary Plat has been received. This review is therefore essentially a repeat of the August 27 memo with some adjustments as appropriate. The proposed Preliminary Plat of Speiser Acres consists of an unplatted area of property approximately 32 acres in size. The property is located along the north side of Birch Street (County Road 10) just east of Hokah Drive, or .30 mi. east of Hodgson Road (County Road 23). The proposed plat essentially provides for the re- sizing of 3 lots; 2 smaller lots along Birch Street (Lots 2 and 3) and a larger lot (Lot 1) that 41) encompasses the majority of the property and extending to the north limits bordering the Anoka County Chain of Lakes Regional Park. Much of this larger northerly area of the property is covered by wetland. • This review is based upon the following: A Preliminary Plat prepared by Advance Surveying and Engineering Company received by the City of Lino Lakes August 27, 2004. The following review comments are provided: 1. The proposed subdivision will require the review and approval of the Rice Creek Watershed District (RCWD). Rules indicate that any subdivision of property over 5 acres in size requires a permit from RCWD. 2. A new dwelling unit is proposed for Lot 2, and an existing dwelling is to remain on Lot 3. For the new dwelling unit, the lowest floor elevation is proposed at 891.7. The rear wetland area is listed as having a 100 year flood elevation of 886.0. The applicant shall be reminded that in accordance with the requirements of the City of Lino Lakes, the City's minimum building elevation floor elevation (including basement), must be the greatest of the following: 2 feet above the Design Flood Elevation, or 4 feet above the water table. The lowest building opening must be at least 1 foot higher than the emergency overflow elevation. As proposed, the building would appear to meet at least part of the above criteria, but would need to be verified further with regards to groundwater and emergency overflow requirements.
